Thunderbolt: After Burner Climax Review

Thunderbolt writes: "In a time when simulation is everything, flight combat games in the vein of After Burner Climax are hard to come by, not least because this one in particular seems to take its main inspiration from, of all things, an arcade racer. ‘OutRun with fighter jets.’ There really is no better description for After Burner Climax. Just as fast and frantic as it is pretty, the game seems to exist in SEGA’s distinctive world of fun above logic. From the vibrant, colourful visual style to the multiple branching paths, After Burner Climax is typical of SEGA’s ability to provide an experience that harbours its own individuality yet somehow also adheres to a clear template."
